Bridgebuilder

DEVELOPMENT THROUGH INVOLVEMENT

Bridgebuilder™ is a process tool for idea creation, problem solving, knowledge sharing, and value and strategy processes. It’s a flexible tool that supports a process in which ideas, problems, and dilemmas are tested, solved, and discussed through the involvement of the desired stakeholders. 

Bridgebuilder is a simple and intuitive process tool that opens up for input and critique from several stakeholders – and makes documentation very easy. The tool supports a process in which knowledge and ideas are continuously outlined, commented on, and documented. It makes it possible to gather all input – negative as well as positive – and makes it visible to everybody. 
Bridgebuilder enables a process in which many stakeholders are involved and where knowledge is shared while reaching toward common qualified results. 

DEVELOPMENT THROUGH OBSTRUCTIONS
The more ideas are challenged, the better they develop. Bridgebuilder supports the creation of better ideas by setting up obstructions that challenge the participants in their ability to find and realize new perspectives, ideas and solutions in problem solving. A good idea can always be made better and Bridgebuilder focuses on “building bridges” over the obstructions in the hunt for even better ideas. Bridgebuilder thus works both qualitatively and quantitatively with the creation of better ideas.

FROM PROBLEM TO SOLUTION
Bridgebuilder is a game-based tool consisting of cards that are used to visualize and structure knowledge and different ideas around a center board. On the basis of a chosen subject, participants put problems, questions, answers and solutions into play. Participants work in groups of three, and the tool uses changes of perspectives to highlight the different issues from all angles. The result is a documented process in which different knowledge and ideas result in a sequence of arguments that are visible to everybody. Bridgebuilder makes it very easy to evaluate and continue on to the next phase of work based on the results of the process. 

“ISS uses a number of simulations and process tools designed by Workz. We have had great experiences in using their challenging and interactive tools in connection with our talent development program, leadership development program and workshops."
